Week 6 Part I - pages I choose to Like as Socal Relocation Services

My business page on Facebook is Socal Relocation Services. Using Facebook as Socal Relocation Services, I choose the following eight businesses Facebook pages to Like for the purpose of making connections and promoting Socal Relocation Services:

1. Redfin, a real estate broker that specializes in markets such as SoCal region. One of the first thing that newly arrived Chinese students and visiting scholars would have to deal with is finding a place to stay. By incorporating Redfin as part of the network, my business page would be able to offer valuable leads and insights into the house/apartment hunting for my clients.

2. Bank of America, a leading financial institution that has extensive network of branches spanning the U.S. and worldwide. A part of my services is helping the Chinese students and visiting scholars in obtaining bank account, arranging fund transfer from their homeland to here.  Bank of America is a premier financial institution that offers world class international banking services, which will fit in my services requirement neatly.

3. IRS, Internal Revenue Services. Paying taxes and filing tax return will be a confusing and daunting task for people coming from China, and if left unattended or mishandled, would cause dire consequences for them too. IRS Facebook page contains up-to-date information which could be shared by my business page as advice to my potential clients.

4.California Association of Realtors contains detailed market analysis and valuable industry expert opinion and insights for California housing market. A lot of  business can be gained by introducing the California housing market to my potential clients.

5. My business page also likes Southern California Weather Authority and Visit California for leisure information as complimentary news sources for my potential clients who will assimilate into the SoCal life styles.

6. World Journal is a leading Chinese language newspaper whose content can be shared by my page. University of Southern California has a high percentage of Chinese students and visiting scholars who are affluent as the same time. This is where my potential clients are and my page likes it for the exactly the same reason.
